Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

These are pretty nice lowball glasses. I use them for an Old Fashioned.

They’re not luxury crystal but they’re a nice weight, quality, and price. I haven’t had them long to speak about their durability. (The cleaning cloth is very unimpressive. Glass clothes are easy to find.)

Well wear.

I don’t like to drink out of crystal because too many drunk asses at my house including myself. I have a bunch of glassware with the name of my “home bar” on them. But I hardly use those. I prefer the 10oz yeti lowball. Keeps things cool in the warmer months and they are basically indestructible.

Indestructible...you’re playing my song.

I have solid crystal - Waterford, Lismore pattern - for my wine glasses, highball glasses (which I use for water), and for my standard whiskey tumblers, nice and sturdy, and solid, and blessedly heavy and balanced.

Actually, I love solidly constructed, elegant, and yes - almost indestructible - crystal.

Riedel is all very well but far too temperamental and diva-ish for my lifestyle and customary drinking habits (which have included the unfortunate chip as wine glass rim clips tap/faucet while attempting to wash up while still ever so slightly intoxicated). Thus, I wanted elegant, stylish, solid, and robust glassware.

Have you considered the AA?

Enjoy.

Do enjoy.

Enjoy.

I would imagine that a barrel of whisky would be consumed over a considerable period of time.

One would hope! We used to get barrels of beer at work occasionally from a German supplier. But we don’t buy much from them these days.

Well, I doubt I have seen anyone (or any group of anyones) attempt to polish off a barrel of whiskey (or punch) since my student days.

Barrels of beer, that, too, is something I have not laid eyes on in a long time. (Yes, student days).

As for last purchases, cheese, anyone?

LOL. I don’t think they could help.

Thank you. Wine won’t be ready for about 3 years. And yes, it will take a while to consume 300 bottles.

3 years? That’s a while to wait!

 

[Mr Kram]

Yep. We haven’t even picked the grapes yet. After that, 2 years in the barrel and 1 in the bottle.

So it’s an empty barrel?

It’s a future. We will be involved in the entire process from start to finish. It will also have our own private label for each bottle it yields.

Sounds brilliant - a fun and interesting thing to do.

Good luck with it and do make sure you enjoy yourselves.

Pre ordered prior to release on 26th October...

75" Samsung QLED Q9FN

Purchased it on a whim yesterday because the price was too good to pass up. I have a bright room with a large wall and that's the only reason i purchased QLED. Bought it from Abt Electronics and get it delivered in 2 weeks.

I’m disappointed how frequently the pencil needs charged. Also, I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before losing the cap or adapter. So, I bought a second pencil to swap out when needed and this charging dock.

 

[mrex]

Nice dock for the pencil, im getting similar (wood) when i buy something from amazon... yeah the battery of the pencil runs out even without using it...

 

[macgeek18]

My boss let me get a nice upgrade for my new 2015 13” MBP.

 

[Elbert C]

Ordered an open box Tamron 150-600 G2, with full manfacturer warranty, for a couple hundred dollars less than new for my D750. Just in case the lens may be off at certain distances, I also ordered the tap in console for it.

 

[kazmac]

I was really trying not to buy this...but I love these two Franco Nero westerns and will probably get the digital versions too once they drop in price.

I guess I miss having those lobbies too (I had the actual set that these are reproductions of).

I would be very curious to hear what you think of that charger. I've thought about getting one for the pencil because I often want to draw while the iPad is charging.

A refurbished Series3 Nike watch, because I couldn't justify the price of the Series4...

I believe it has only a cable placed inside the dock and you need to use your own charger.
